Jordan (/ˈdʒɔːrdən/; Arabic: الأردن Al-Urdun), officially the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Arabic: المملكة الأردنية الهاشمية Al-Mamlakah Al-Urduniyah Al-Hashimiyah), is an Arab kingdom in Western Asia, on the East Bank of the Jordan River. Jordan is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the east and south, Iraq to the north-east, Syria to the north, and Israel and Palestine to the west. Since the dawn of civilization, the country's location at the crossroads of the Middle East has served as a strategic nexus connecting Asia, Africa and Europe.
Archaeologists found evidence on inhabitance dating as far back as the Paleolithic period. Three kingdoms emerged on the territory of modern Jordan at the very end of the Bronze Age: Ammon, Moab and Edom. The lands were later part of several kingdoms and empires, most notably the Nabatean Kingdom, the Roman Empire and finally the Ottoman Empire from the 16th until the early 20th century. After the Partitioning of the Ottoman Empire after World war I by Britain and France, the Emirate of Transjordan was officially recognized by the Council of the League of Nations in 1922. In 1946, Jordan became an independent sovereign state officially known as The Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan. The capture of the West Bank by Jordan during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War has showed that the Arab Legion forces known today as the Jordanian Armed Forces were the most effective among the Arab troops involved in the war. The same year, Abdullah I took the title King of Jordan. The name of the state was changed to The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on 1 December 1948.

Torn apart! Left me alone!
You passed away without a word
And all alone you walk away
Jordan! May your way be safe?
You lived a life in modesty
And you are always in my heart
Take, take my life
A sacrifice!
To bring you back!
Words cannot tell how
Great is the loss
I want you back right now
I'm longing for you!
Forever in my mind
My memories are all I've got
Stare at the starts
With empty eyes!
I want you back!
Life is worth living
Without you it's tough
I want you back right now
I'm longing for you
Forever in my mind
My memories are all I've got
I keep you in my heart
(In) remembrance of what we had
When no one understands
The darkness that I wander in
Your parting meant distance
It needs light shone from your heavens
Forever! Torn apart! Left me alone!
Jordan! May your way be safe?
I keep you in my heart
(In) remembrance of what we had
When no one understands
The darkness that I wander in
Your parting meant distance
It needs light shone from your heavens
When no one understands
The darkness that I wander in
Your parting meant distance
